five questions
I have been asked a handful of questions by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stitchwhich:
1. How many languages do you speak comfortably?
Comfortably? One. Unless you count Australian and American as separate languages, in which case I can probably claim two. Sure, I speak Swedish, but I am very aware that my pronunciation has issues (which I can't hear, but everyone else can), so I am not so comfortable with my abilities.
2. If you could (in fantasy, anyway) switch professional fields, what would you choose to do?
Well, my "professional field" has been "career student" for most of my life (the pay is low, but the quality of life is high) until recently, when it transitioned to "researcher" (much better pay) and then to "lab technician" (less stress/responsibility), so I have been pretty pretty lucky with my field so far, and have never really thought about what else I might do to earn enough cash to keep baking my own bread. But since fantasy is ok, how about "wealthy land owner"? You know--in a time and place where owning the land provided an income, along with the responsibility to manage the land...
3. If you were able to go back in time who would you choose for your guide, and where would they take you through?
Oh, dear, now here is one I have never thought of in those sorts of terms. It never occurred to me in my previous time travel dreams to have a guide. A guide... Ok, how about one of the inhabitants of the long house which is in Lofoten? I would love to see how it looked back in the day, how it compares to the replica long house that stands there now, and I would love to know what the clothing of the people living there actually looked like.
4. (Do you have a/what is your religious faith?
Well, I have said more than once that it is against my religion to sit out of a dance. Leaving dirty dishes unwashed is also against my religion. But other than those two quirks I don't actually have any sort of religion and can't understand why anyone would want one. Isn't it better to be a good person because it increases the quality of ones own life and the lives of the people with whom one interacts than to do so because some god (or someone claiming to be the representative of some god) told you to?
5. What do you find inspiring about the SCA?
The arts and crafts that we do. The things that we make are just so inspiring. So many of the nice things I have made were made because I saw something similar at an event and just had to try making one of my own...
If anyone else wants questions leave a comment and I will come up with some for you. If you enjoy playing you can pass more questions on forward to others who want to play.
If you would like to ask me questions, leave them in the comments. :-)

Why not?
Re: Why not?
2) You have lived in your house for a very long time. Do you think you will ever move again/to where/why?
3) You have mentioned getting your fighting kit back into shape for use. When was the last time you were in armour, and how did it go?
4) What is the easiest aspect of your current work towards a slimmer, more fit body?
5) What do you find the most inspiring?

no subject
1) Why do you refer to him as "Bossman"?
2) How and when did you find the SCA?
3) If you were able to go back in time who would you choose for your guide, and where would they take you through? (Ok, so I liked the question, even if I didn't have a good answer)
4) You once posted about the hassels of changing which types of food you log. Are you still logging food and has the food log triggered any changes in your life?
5) What is the furthest you have ever traveled to attend an SCA event/what event was it/any good stories from that event?
